Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a floured surface and carefully separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wide end of each crescent triangle, being careful not to overfill to avoid leakage.
- Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip, sealing the edges gently by pressing to encase the filling securely inside.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Dust and Serve: Mix the powdered sugar with vanilla extract to lightly dust over the warm crescent rolls, then serve and enjoy your Cherry Pie Crescent Rolls warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dough slightly if it becomes too sticky while handling.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings such as blueberry or apple for variety.
- Ensure edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert twist.
